在线课程如何工作？

Online classes at Rasmussen University arenotjust virtual versions of on-campus classes. We know our online students are looking for more flexibility to balance school with the rest of their lives. That’s why we design our online classes to have all the engagement of being in person with all the freedom of being online. Live sessions, emails and online discussion forums allow you to ask questions and build relationships with your instructors and classmates, but you get to choose when and where you log on.

What do online classes look like?

You’ll find all the information you need for your courses in an online platform called the Student Portal. Announcements, assignments and syllabi are all available in one easy-to-access place. You’ll also find links to writing, tutoring and research support so that you can stay organized and get the resources you need.

Do I have to be online at a certain time of day?

不，虽然有些课程可能每周预定的日期，但您不需要在每天特定时间登录。Live Sessions为您提供与您的教师和同学互动的选项，但这些都被录制，如果需要，可以稍后查看。在大多数情况下，您可以期望每周登录多次，以便与您的作业保持按计划。

How do I communicate with my instructor if I have questions?

Instructors are available to answer questions and provide support by phone, by email or through a live chat on the Student Portal.

How do I connect with other students in my online class?

与Rasmussen大学的其他在线学生遇到我们的互动课堂环境和讨论板很容易。此外，我们在Facebook上寄托私人社区，只为Rasmussen学生连接。1

在线计划需要哪本材料和教科书？

All you need is a reliable computer with an adequate internet connection. Otherwise, we’ll provide the materials you need for each course. While some courses use physical textbooks, most use digital content, including e-textbooks, videos, downloadable content and interactive libraries. Costs for these materials are covered in the Course Technology and Resource Fee, which is charged per course.2
